I'm experiencing some discomfort due to eating spicy food. It's causing pain in my rectum, especially at the tip of my anus, and it's making bowel movements really painful. My digestion feels off and I can't seem to have a proper motion. Could you recommend a specialist who might be able to help with these symptoms?

I've been dealing with external piles for 34 years and never told anyone because I'm embarrassed. They swell up, hurt badly, and sometimes bleed. I get constipated easily, can't digest food properly, and there's itching and sharp pain around my anus. The hemorrhoids are about the size of a chana pulse I don't know what stage I'm at but I can't take it anymore. Can this be treated without surgery? I'm really scared of going under the knife.

Advanced external piles with pain and bleeding may need surgery‚Äîlaser options offer quicker recovery with less pain.

My doctor said one side of my anal sphincter is too tight and prescribed meds, but mentioned surgery if it doesn't work. Are there other options besides surgery or any tips to help loosen it naturally?

Yes, there are options besides surgery to address a tight anal sphincter. Besides the medications your doctor prescribed, consider non-surgical interventions like Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and bowel training. Other treatments include botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, and in some cases, a sphincterotomy may be considered
